Deadly: The Truth about the most Dangerous Creatures on Earth by Nicola Davies –ESSENTIAL

Davies, Nicola Deadly: The Truth about the most Dangerous Creatures on Earth 61 pgs. Candlewick, 2015. $7.99 NONFICTION
This book features information about animal predators and the weapons and tactics they have adapted to capture their prey. Includes creatures like Tigers, Bears, Electric Eels, Wolves, and many many more. Cartoon illustrations are numerous. A message of human safety and the conservation of predators is the conclusion.
This is a hilarious and reader friendly book that makes learning fun. Its not enough information for a report on any given creature but a very entertaining overview that has broad appeal from 1-6 grade. I loved the information about safety around these creatures since many people blame the predators for attacks on humans. Buy in hardbound only, the paperback is extra easy to destroy!
